Tooth decay does not automatically mean tooth loss. By specifically removing the diseased tooth substance, the tooth can be preserved in the long term. Various filling materials are available to close the resulting hole (cavity). Whereas classic plastic fillings are inexpensive but often visible and less durable, ceramic inlays offer a high-quality alternative.
Ceramic Inlays vs. Plastic Fillings
Plastic fillings differ depending on the material:
- Amalgam
- Durable and inexpensive, but controversial because of its mercury content and conspicuous in appearance.
- Glass ionomer cementA temporary solution with limited durability.
- CompositeA plastic-glass mix that is tooth-coloured but can discolour over time. Ceramic inlays offer an aesthetic and permanent solution. These high-quality ceramic fillings are stable, well tolerated and blend seamlessly into the natural appearance of the teeth. Ceramic inlays are made individually in the dental laboratory and then permanently fixed in the tooth.
